completion and has received all necessary approvals. we want to bring to you the project sponsors proposals that are intended to satisfy the public requirement. i'll ask the project sponsor to come up >> good afternoon carl with the company. we're extraordinarily pleased to bring those to san francisco. jerry inspire i think you know was very involved with the museum in new york and personally selected those piece. it's much nor that appropriate to have those inside the lobby. there's floor to ceiling glass and the lobby will be open to

the public. we think those are a great compliment to the believe and hopefully, we'll have them in san francisco shortly. thank you. >> thank you. any public comment on this item? okay public comment is closed and this is an informational item only. commissioners? >> i would like to ask the project sponsor if there's something like a plaque or something to let the public know the pieces are in the lobby. >> commissioners there will be as a condition of approval it's a requirement the plaques b be in an open space plaza as well as from the street indicating

the availability of the public art. >> thank you. >> commissioners if there's nothing further item 10 for 229 market street an informational update. >> good afternoon, commissioners. on october 2012 you guys approved the branch on market street. you expressed a concern on say plans specifically it was too much and too large and it was constituting a branding of the building and you added a condition that staff work with the project sponsor to address those sicken issues. you have before you a revised

sicken package. the difference is that the lettering on the sign is now 15 inches tall and 15 feet long. the sign has been reduced from 24 feet long to 18 inches tall and long. the signage is still lit. once again an informational item. we've received a letter from d t n a expressing the revised signage they want to see one sign. orange after we left the hearing that's what the staff proposed

and that's the sign that be only 12 inches tall that's based on architectureal recommendation. and we got a little push back from the sponsor and they said there's only financial uses so they thought they were being unfairly targeted but? the signage they've presented and it's been revised since october >> it's informational but is there a project sponsor? >> afternoon commissioners for

the bank of the west and we have bank of the west representatives as well as the sign designer. >> if you want to make any overall comments the commissioners may or may not have questions for you but if you want to talk about the project you have a couple of minutes. >> i'll briefly reiterate the information we submitted to you in the package that was captured by the planner. we've sightly reduced the size of the signs. the size now and as originally proposed is smaller. the lettering is white and so the illumination is minimal. the bank has worked with the neighborhood groups and agreed

to reduce the size to address their concerns. this location is unique as you may see from our presentation. it's actually at the intersection of 3 streets noah, market and 16th. so in effect has 3 frontage ages. the bank is asking for a smaller sign over the entrance and it's an exposure point for them on market and 16th >> okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. we'll open up to the public i have one speaker card

(calling names) >> thank you could you use the projector also? thank you good afternoon commissioner and thank you for the opportunity to speak. i'm horrify i was here last spring presenting a signage for at at. but the agreement was ignored and we've got two signs on market and i know you were upset about that. in some cases this has worked well, we've got a good agreement and it's appropriately sized but unfortunately bank of the west

has done is a case study and what the sponsor said t is not true. they've refused to talk with us and they propose large signs facing both ways on market like verizon is going to do. they've worked around the planning department without notifying the department. we've got 25 thousand retail space coming on line we strongly feel that bank of the west needs to be held account and not just branding for brands sakes. we should be more like boston then las vegas.

like massachusetts it looks nice. in boston here's what neighborly folks do they're not lit up like billboards. if you don't work with anybody you don't get nice signs. thank you for listening >> any additional public comment? >> alex. i wanted to come to you because i want to say we understand this is informational and this sign is within the code but we believe there should be improved know protocol and we need to use this as an example to reexamine our protocols. you know, this area is outside but the market plan doesn't talk about sicken age and as we

continue to builds the mixed use the residential and commercial to make sure that the sicken age is toned down. we believe with the traffic in the corner and a pedestrian corner we need to be mindful not to distract travel. we want to make sure we have the best practice going forward and as the speaker was talking about other examples of how sicken age can be better integrated with the neighborhood. this goes into the neighborhood as sf has done to better format late better retail. we want to talk about a
